Simple Web Server (SWS) 0.0.4 through 0.1.0 does not properly handle when the recv function call fails, which may allow remote attackers to overwrite program data or perform actions on an uninitialized heap, leading to a denial of service and possibly code execution.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-1870 affects very old Simple Web Server versions 0.0.4 through 0.1.0. A failed network receive call may leave memory in an unsafe state, causing denial of service and possibly code execution. Business urgency depends almost entirely on whether this legacy software is still deployed or internet-exposed. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems still running Simple Web Server 0.0.4 through 0.1.0. The source bundle does not identify CPEs, platforms, package names, or common deployment paths, so asset confirmation is required. Do not treat this as a broad emergency unless SWS is found. If present on an exposed host, prioritize retirement or isolation because the impact includes service disruption and possible code execution. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Simple Web Server 0.0.4 through 0.1.0.; Remove or replace SWS if it is no longer operationally required.; Restrict network access to any confirmed SWS instance..
